Chapter 29 29 Reclaiming Copyright
Yanzi's high school entrance examination made Qin He's already anxious heart even more difficult to calm down.

Because Yanzi had a slight cold these two days, Qin He was worried that it would affect his test results, so he was also a little anxious.

Fortunately, after the exam, Yanzi said that his performance was not bad, which made Qin He breathe a sigh of relief.

On the day when the results were announced, Qin He simply took a half-day break and took Yanzi to school.

When he saw the grades, Qin He's long-hanging heart was finally relieved. Yanzi ranked second in his class and ranked fourth in the school's key high school. Looking at Yanzi who was crying with joy, Qin He was also deeply relieved.

Long-term hard work has finally paid off. Qin He is happy for this thin girl, and he is really happy for Yanzi in his heart.

Although he is a person from another world in his heart, his heart is fleshy. After getting along for more than half a year, Qin He seems to agree that he has such a sensible sister.

Before Qin He was happy, he was discovered by Principal Yuan, who quickly pulled him into the office.

Principal Yuan smiled happily and took out a magazine from the bookshelf. Qin He took it and looked at it. It was the latest issue of the reader's magazine.

Seeing this magazine, Qin He suddenly thought of something, opened it and looked, and as expected, the article he wrote for Principal Yuan has already been published in the reader's magazine.

And under the author of the "Mom, hug me one more time" article, Yuan Zhiguo was written. Qin He looked at the article carefully, and it was indeed the one he wrote.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Principal Yuan, you have finally fulfilled your dream of being an author! How are you? Do you have any masterpieces recently? Do you want me to polish them?"

Qin He originally said it as a joke, but unexpectedly, the bald Principal Yuan showed a shy expression on his face, and took out a stack of manuscripts from the drawer and said.

"Hey, Xiaolin, you've already opened your mouth, so I'm too embarrassed. Take a look here, there are still ten articles. You can see which ones can polish your pen. Help us to polish your pen. Don't worry, the price will not be less for you! "

Qin He: ...!
Sure enough, the bottom line is used to break through.

Qin He finally chose two articles that seemed to have something to say. It took him almost three hours and a lot of brainstorming to polish up the two manuscripts. It was much more difficult to polish someone else's writing than to write a manuscript at random.

The reason why Principal Yuan changed so quickly was because the article Qin He polished for him was reprinted by the city daily, and he was also praised by the Education Bureau, which naturally caused Principal Yuan's bottom line to drop again.

At noon, Principal Yuan invited Qin He to a banquet in the cafeteria. Swallow followed suit, and Qin He was not polite. Not only did he charge Principal Yuan 500 yuan, he also ate and drank a lot, and the cooperation between the two became stronger.

Yanzi was admitted to the county high school and went to the county town to go to school. Fortunately, she lived in the school. Now that Qin He has capital, Yanzi’s treatment is no worse than that of any student in the school. On weekdays, Qin He rides a motorcycle to the county town to pick her up. .

Because of the need to use computers and the fact that the children had to walk ten kilometers to and from school every day, Qin He simply rented a house in the town and let the children live in it. Qinhe also planted the fields and soil for his third uncle, who didn’t know how to farm anyway.

The conditions at home are better, but Qin He still attaches great importance to the children's study, and the study atmosphere at home is still maintained every day, because they have enough time to study and eat a good diet, the children have grown a lot in the past six months , In addition to improving academic performance, several children are also more confident.

After getting a computer, Qin He felt that he was finally back on track. By copying, he could code up to [-] to [-] words a day, and he still had time to finish the magazine draft. Sure enough, as an author, if he only needed to copy, it was true. easy.

In the second part of The Three-Body Problem, Qin He made very few changes. Except for adding some character descriptions, the rest was basically copied completely. The total of the Three-Body Trilogy is only about 90 words. The first part has already been published with 20 words. The third part has been published. The second and third parts together only amount to 70 words. Qin He finished the second and third parts in mid-August.

After sorting it out, Qin He contacted Lao Cui again about publishing.

But this time, Lao Cui didn't agree so happily. After all, the cooperation has been more than half a year, and Lao Cui didn't hide Qin He's reason.

The reason is naturally that the sales volume of this book is really bad. Even if it is sold in conjunction with [-] copies, there is still a little unsold. It has been published for two months, and those booksellers have not even given the slightest feedback.

After Lao Cui talked for a long time, Qin He finally understood that he would not make money by publishing Three-Body Problem for you.

Qin He knew that the book The Three-Body Problem would eventually become a classic, but he never expected that after the first publication, the sales volume was so poor, perhaps because the circulation was too small, only [-] copies, so even if there are real readers who like it , It's useless, and it can't cause any big waves.

After all, they have cooperated for such a long time. On the phone, Lao Cui vaguely pointed out a way for Qin He, that is, try to write some novels similar to the bosom friend style, and everyone will make money by then.

But Qin He thought about it, and finally rejected Lao Cui's proposal. He really didn't have much time, and it was too exhausting to write his messy novels about love and revenge.

But he had already written it and had to publish it. Considering the relationship between the two, Lao Cui introduced several booksellers to Qin He to see if any booksellers specializing in publishing would like Qin He's The Three-Body Problem. novel.

Qin He gritted his teeth and agreed. Qin He decided to follow his own ideas, and finally chose the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" for his second novel.

Science fiction books themselves don’t have many audiences in China. When Liu was able to finish writing The Three-Body Problem, the most important thing was to publish it in Science Fiction World Magazine.

Even so, the sales volume of Da Liu's Three-Body Problem series has not been high. It was not until 2009 that he sold the Three-Body Problem copyright at a very low price, which was even rumored to be only 10 yuan.

It was 2009, and the copyright of the Three-Body Problem was sold for 10 yuan. It is conceivable how embarrassing the status of this book is. This book really became popular because it was translated abroad. Gradually, many celebrities fell in love with this book. Only then did his domestic fame skyrocket, and finally the book Wandering Earth made this book a god.

Therefore, Qin He never thought of earning a lot of money from Three Body, but only hoped to leave the copyright of this book to the children. When the book becomes popular, the copyright will be really valuable.

Since no one cares about it now, let’s write down those things about the Ming Dynasty first!

Lao Cui was still responsible. Not long after, a bookseller called Qin He and asked about the situation of the book Three-Body Problem.

Qin He also sent a sample manuscript. As a result, in October, he met with three groups of booksellers in a row, but the book was not approved for publication.

The best condition for a bookseller is to publish two thousand copies to test the water, and the copyright issue is basically free of charge before agreeing to it.

Qin He naturally refused.

That being the case, Qin He could only give up publishing first, and he took the initiative to propose with Lao Cui to take back the copyright of the first volume of his Three-Body Problem.

Lao Cui readily agreed, and finally Qin He paid 2 yuan to get the copyright back.

The trilogy finally returned to my own hands.

It is already mid-October at this time, and the first and second parts of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" have been completed.
